The bare-eared squirrel monkey (Saimiri ustus) is a squirrel monkey, a small New World monkey of the genus Saimiri, endemic to Brazil and possibly eastern Bolivia. Squirrel monkeys as a group live in the canopy of tropical forests of Central and South America, and the bare-eared squirrel monkey is placed in the Saimiri sciureus species group, alongside the Central American squirrel monkey and the Guianan squirrel monkey. In Rondônia it has been recorded associating with the black-striped capuchin, and further south the black-capped squirrel monkey is found in the same region.
